AUBURN, N.Y. -- State police are investigating the death of an inmate at Auburn state prison last week.

Daniel Wingate, 51, was going to be released in September after serving five years in prison for sexual abuse, according to the state prison system's website.

No one has been charged in Wingate's death, state Trooper Mark O'Donnell said. He confirmed state police were investigating, but did not release details.

Wingate died at an outside hospital on Friday, a spokesman for the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision said. The spokesman referred questions to the state police and the Cayuga County Medical Examiner's Office.

Cayuga County Coroner Dr. Adam Duckett said today he expects to determine a cause and manner of Wingate's death in about two weeks.

Wingate stood 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighed 100 pounds, according to the New York State Sex Offender Registry. He was convicted in Monroe County of first-degree sexual abuse and sentenced to five years in prison in January 2013.

Wingate was convicted in 1994 of sexually abusing a 7-year-old girl, also in Monroe County, according to the state registry. He was sentenced to 2 to 7 years in prison.
